Both insured and self-funded group health plans are covered entities if they use an insurer or TPA to administer their plan and they have 50 or more participants. It has been made clear to me that even if a GHP uses an insurer to administer their plan, they are still a CE and need to apply for the TCS extension. But here are my questions: 1) This means that almost every employer in the US will need to apply for the extension, or have their insurer apply on their behalf, correct? And this is whether they are self-funded or not. 2) Does this make the insurer a BA of the group? This would mean as an insurer, we would probably need to apply for an extension on behalf of almost every group we have and have BA Agreements with them all. This seems extreme, like I'm missing something. Any help is appreciated.
